title: Right ventricular thrombus in a patient with nephrotic syndrome.
abstract: We treated a 21-year-old man with right ventricular thrombus caused by nephrotic syndrome. The right ventricular thrombus was safely removed and his postoperative course was uneventful. Peri- and postoperative management after surgery for the worsened nephrotic syndrome was relatively unique and difficult, and critical care was essential for saving the patient's life and protecting renal function.
